BMW is well known for its history of [[inline-six engine|inline-six]] (straight-six) engines, a layout it continues to use to this day despite most other manufacturers switching to a [[V6 engine|V6]] layout. The more common [[inline-four engine|inline-four]] and [[V8 engine|V8]] layouts are also produced by BMW, and at times the company has produced [[inline-three engine|inline-three]], [[V10 engine|V10]] and [[V12 engine|V12]] engines, BMW also engineered non-production customised engines especially for motorsports which include the [[BMW M12|M12/13]] 1.5-Liter straight 4 piston turbocharged engine from 1982 to 1987 for [[Brabham]], [[Arrows F1|Arrows]] and [[Benetton Formula|Benetton]] [[Formula One]] teams, the [[BMW E41 / P80 engine|E41/P83]] 3.0-Liter V10 from 2000 to 2005 for [[Williams F1 Team]] and the [[BMW F1|P86/8]]  2.4-Liter V8 for their own F1 team partnering with [[Sauber F1]] from 2006 to 2009, with which the company enjoyed its first and best finish at the [[2008 Canadian Grand Prix]] as a full works F1 manufacturer team, finishing the race with their winning driver [[Robert Kubica]], and [[Nick Heidfeld]] in second place.

British super car manufacturer [[McLaren Automotive]], a manufacturer of road-going sports cars based on Formula One technology, decided to work with BMW for the development of their first ever production car—the [[McLaren F1]] in 1993 for the engineering and customization of its engine—the [[BMW S70|S70]]/2, which had a 6.1-Liter 60° V12 [[DOHC]] configuration. Only 106<ref>{{Cite web |title=McLaren F1 - For Many, The Greatest Supercar Ever Built {{!}} McLaren Automotive |url=https://cars.mclaren.com/au-en/legacy/mclaren-f1#:~:text=Beautifully%20engineered%20and%20exceptionally%20quick,cars%20in%20the%20world%20today. |access-date=2025-01-20 |website=cars.mclaren.com |language=en}}</ref> units of the cars were produced by McLaren, the S70 engine holding the record of the fewest production engines by BMW to date. 

Prototype [[V16 engine|V16]] engines have been made despite not reaching production. These prototypes were the 1987 [[BMW Goldfisch V16]] 6.7&nbsp;litre engine and the 2004 [[Rolls-Royce 100EX]] 9.0&nbsp;litre engine.
BMW has also made prototype [[V6 engines]]<ref>{{cite web |title=Did You Know BMW Builds V6 Engines All The Time? |url=https://jalopnik.com/did-you-know-bmw-builds-v6-engines-all-the-time-1633734035 |website=Jalopnik |access-date=28 October 2021 | date = 2014-09-11 | first = Patrick | last = George | language=en-us}}</ref>
